The Theatre: Ashes

Folk will pay money to stare at any
rarity—whether it is a man who plays exceptional tennis, or a woman
who can swallow a snake, or a cow with seven legs. It was inevitable,
then, that Vera, Countess Cathcart, being the most prominent woman
ever kept out of the country for her turpitude, should either compose
or appear in a play. She did both. Last week the play, called Ashes of
Love, was produced simultaneously in London and in New York (via
Washington).
